review | bourjois rouge edition lipstick - rose millesime

I recently won Gillian's elevatormusik blog birthday giveaway (go check out her blog, it's one of my absolute favourites!) and in the little surprise parcel she sent me was this lipstick. I must have missed the memo when Bourjois was releasing these lipsticks because it's fabulous!

Their website says:

'It's ready to wear formula is enriched with 1/4 pure laque for a radiant, glossy finish and orchid blossom extract so it glides onto the lips leaving them feeling smooth, hydrated and protected for up to 10 hours'.

The shade I have is number 17 called Rose Millesime. It can only be described as a warm toned pink with a hint of peach and coral tones through it. It's such a beautiful colour. It glides on so easily and feels so moisturising on the lips. It's not sticky and the colour pigmentation is brilliant. This is my first experience of a Bourjois lipstick and it's a great first impression. I may have to have a look at some of the other shades...

At £7.99 each, it's a decent price for a great lipstick that is great for every day wear!

Have you tried Bourjois' range of lipsticks yet? Any other shades I need in my life?

Blush Series: Bourjois Pot Blush 'Rose D'or'

Today, I suddenly hit one of those 'Blogger writing blocks' but my past self suddenly saved me when I realised that I had taken some photos that I had not gone round to blogging about it! So I thought I would introduce a new series where I go through some of my favourite blushes (not necessarily for the Summer trend but can be used all year round!). 

I don't have that many blushes, despite my obsession with them so I'm guessing this series won't take very long to get through! Let me introduce one of the newest blushes to my collection: Bourjois Pot Blush in 'Rose D'or'!

How have I gone for so long without having owned one of these amazing blushes?! I have now learnt from my mistake and shall be investing more of my hard earned cash on some more of these! 'Rose D'or' is a beautiful pink blush with what looks like small gold accents through it. It looks quite scary in the pot but once blended out it looks really natural which is the look I always go for with blush. On a side note, the brush that comes with it is not at all that bad. If you are a beginner with makeup, then I think using this brush isn't the worst thing that could happen! On the otherhand, I've developed a very loving relationship with my ELF powder brush so I could never not let it use this! But I digress...


For only £7.99 available in Boots and Superdrug, it really isn't a bad deal at all! I really like the quirkiness of the little round pots that really don't take up that much space in my makeup bag. The best part is that is smells really good! Like soft vanilla accents that really aren't that strong. Bourjois are fast becoming a favourite drugstore brand and their 'on trend' collections appeal to the bargain hunter in me!


What do you think? Do you own any Bourjois blushes? Which one is your favourite?
